How to rotate a PDF
Scanned or exported PDFs sometimes open in the wrong orientation. Here's how to rotate and save them for good.
Steps
- Open the rotate PDF tool and drop your file.
- Choose a rotation — 90°, 180° or 270°.
- Apply it to all pages or just the ones you need.
- Download the corrected PDF; the rotation is saved permanently.
Permanent vs viewer rotation
Rotating in a PDF viewer often doesn't stick when you reopen the file. This tool rewrites the page orientation into the document with pdf-lib, so the fix is permanent everywhere.
